Master commits break projects using the latest version

Hi, @bbyars thanks for this project, super useful library for bdd tests and reproducing different scenarios.

We've recently had an issue due to a change in the entrypoint in the master branch so I thought I would open a ticket to ask for branch commits instead of committing to master directly.
I know we should have pointed to a version tag instead of to latest but I think it's a good practise that is worth mentioning.

Thanks again for all the effort maintaining the library!

Thanks Mario. I’m not sure I understand the concern though. Are you using the source code directly or public repos like npm and DockerHub where the branch doesn’t matter? If you are linked to the source directly, mind sharing a bit about your workflow? -Brandon

When using docker and referring to the library as image: bbyars/mountebank it points to master directly, so it's up to date with every master commit.
I know that is not the best practise, it should always point to a specific tag (image: bbyars/mountebank:2.8.1).
But I thought it was worth mentioning that committing to a branch and merge once it works is cleaner and groups related commits in a single commit to master.

There are certainly those who argue the opposite, that trunk based development is the better way to go.
